The Collapse Of The Ivory Tower

"Intellectuals", as an eternal motif of literary creation, got the favors of many writers, and it also has received great critical attention. At the turn of the century in the90s, with changing times, the transformation of the social and economic development, socio-economic factors have strong penetration into the holy "ivory tower". And it has changed the behavior and appearance of the intellectuals in the university campus. The living conditions and the inner world of academic intellectuals have undergone a remarkable change. Their code of conduct and attitude of alienation is staggering:including arbitrary, pursuing, lack of independent spirit of university authority as Jizhou He; walking between "knowledge" and "capital" of the "win-win" with skill and ease as Jingwen Shao; willingly to serve system of rogue by institutional constraints as Guangjian Liu; willingly to betray academic achievements for quick results in order to get higher positions as Anding Liu; indulging in sex world and be an outrageous gamers as Zijin Song...Under this situation, a lot of "university narrative" text was born at the turn of the century, becoming a literary phenomenon that cannot be ignored.Creation of "university narrative" all live or have lived in the university campus, and they have the strong and thorough feeling of the social transition of the university campus and the fate of the ups and downs of intellectuals. They tried to have a bird’s eye view of university and the multi-angle perspective "ulcer point" of the university campus through the number of "university narrative" panoramically. In collective "ugliness", they torture the problems of contemporary Chinese university and many evils that exist in the contemporary intellectual elite. And they also have the enthusiasm for the new historical condition college intellectuals of conscience regression and the reconstruction of the humanistic ideals.Through to the turn of the century "university narrative" text, this article mainly sort out to explore the context of the text "ivory tower" and in which the change of the intellectuals, and writes the details from the university of "narrative" of the text mining are hidden by "like" the possibility of reconstruction of humanistic spirit and the creation subject’s creative purpose through the analysis of the creation subject to ugliness and mode of discourse.This article altogether is divided into four parts. In the first part, this article discuss the enclaves of the university campus as the last intellectuals of transformation at the turn of the century in the text context and social context of combining."Ivory tower" through the change of the social environment and its own, such as the organization of administrative units, the university spirit gradually replaced by "consciousness of official standard" and matter ranking, intellectual power loss, etc. Through the deconstruction of "ivory tower", it restore a contemporary intellectual’s survival environment.In the second part, through careful comb intellectual images in the "university narrative" text, this article selected several typical representative character analysis and reveals that college intellectuals the essence of the dissimilation. Narrative at the turn of the century "university" in the college intellectuals is creation subject negated the positive image and high characteristics, and it reveals their inner spiritual collapse and inner ugly and dark. They had great changes in spirit and emotion attitude, value orientation than in the past and have taken place and from the elite position into the secular world immediately, like a lost soul freely in the world. It reflects the intellectual (creation subject) of the intellectuals (image) in "university narrative" of criticism, examines and thinking.In the third part, this article have a further discussion of the creation subject how to make ugliness to the whole intellectuals, which means the strategy in their discourse. According to reason,"university narrative" presented the diversification of narrative and discourse style. It has to do with its huge creation subject. But reading the text, it is easy to conclude the similar or similar way, which is the conflict of the opposites and preset ending. By nature, in this two ways, we can judge the value orientation of the creation subject clearly. In addition, through the analysis to "FengYaSong" and "Flag of Desire" the two representative text, this article also discuss their discourse strategies, as well as the creation subject to this effort.The fourth part is about the turn of the century "university narrative" collective review defacing the present tendency of backwash. Creation subject has arrived in character psychology many gloomy corner is not just for "recrimination," but to better "reality", and through the positive shaping the characters in the text image:such as Deyuan Ge, Dongren Ba, Jiankang Lin, Lai Jiang, to think the possibility of existence and spiritual breakthrough, and the inevitability to rebuild the spirit of the ivory tower.Though, pure "university narrative" text is not a panacea to cure intellectuals lost soul, and is not a perfect solution to guide the reconstruction of the "ivory tower". However, it is from the perspective of humanistic concern, in the form of reveal the scar by itself, to give the people in the "ivory tower" the alert and attention. Perhaps this is the social and cultural values of literary phenomenon showing large quantities of "university narrative", and it also is the great significance of this thesis research.
